It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We can't offer to huge discounts that the large stores offer this time of year but we can offer new exciting products. We hope that you'll consider us for your Small Business Saturday shopping.

If you've been to our store recently, you might have noticed a few new sections. We've added some Tane (mens), Vahine (womens), Home and Gear areas on the website. Of course, we're always adding new handicrafts as well but we thought we'd open it up a little and offer some items for everyday use as well.

For the Vahine and Tane sections, we've started adding awesome clothes made with our own tattoo and pareo designs. Our Tatou line is now available in some fun variations including leggings, shoes, bedding, phone and electronic cases, bags, pillows, and a whole lot more. We have some on our store but there are more that are available with our partner developers:

Take for example Zazzle, our newest partner. You can find some premium versions of iPhone and Galaxy phone covers. The print is all-over including the sides. Our main store offers the back print only (iPhone designs only). Either is great to help protect your phone. And if you are looking for a way to walk around and get attention, check out the leggings. Each of our stores has a slightly different version, and may vary on style.

Do you sleep Polynesia? Our all-over prints are available on duvets now as well - king, queen, and twin sizes. And don't forget that because we have our designs all in digital format, we can create custom colors for you as well. Isn't that awesome? Give us your idea and we'll run with it, give a few options and voila, you have your own custom colors.

Enough of that though. You're probably busy with all the holiday bustle and hustle so we'll let you get back to it. But don't forget us. We're here for you.

So it's been awhile since I drew the last tattoos. I have to admit that I personally don't have any tattoos. Thought about them, but never had any. I flirted with it in college, but finally decided not to. It's a personal choice.

That being said, I still love to look at them and enjoy the creativity. I especially love the traditional Marquesan and Tahitian designs. Samoan right behind that and then Hawaiian. I'm not too big a fan of modern melding with contemporary motifs (eg. mermaids, names, photos, or even full color, etc). I'll stick with the traditional (with maybe a tweak here or there).

I've been slowly introducing some products to the store recently that incorporate my new tattoo designs. These are all inspired by traditional Marquesan and Tahitian tattoo designs. I'm calling it my "Tatou" line. The first 4 designs are out and I've placed them on some fun things.

Check out the phone covers. This is limited only to the iPhone models currently. The all over designs will get you noticed. I'm thinking about colors as well. Tatou III is all red. Although I'm thinking about adding different colors. Tatou Moana is blue. For obvious reasons as it is ocean (moana) themed. The other 2 are classic black and white. Typical for Tahitian tattoo textiles. Nothing wrong with the classics.
